Boys Golf: Class A Meet
Event Recap
FARGO - Minot High rallied on day two of the Class A boys' golf tournament on June 3 at the Oxbow Country Club to claim its first state title since 2003 and fourth overall. The Magicians tied G.F. Red River for the two-day total score of 625. However, Minot won the tie-break based on having a better score from its No. 5 seeded golfer. It was a fitting finish on a tremendous season for Minot High. The program won nine tournaments. Williston finished third with a 639 total, the program's best-ever finish at the meet. Minot North, last year's champion, was fourth. The last time WDA teams won successive tournaments was in 1987 (Bismarck High) and 1988 (Minot High).
